Leicester City has made a significant winter transfer by signing striker Hlin Eiriksdottir from Kristianstads on a two-and-a-half-year deal. The 24-year-old Iceland international was the top scorer for her former club last season and aims to bring energy and goals to Leicester, who currently sit 11th in the Women's Super League. Eiriksdottir's signing comes at a crucial time due to injuries affecting key players, which has limited the team's offensive capabilities this season. The club hopes her experience and skills will improve their performance as they fight to avoid relegation.
"I am really happy to be here and looking forward to getting started with the team. I am honoured to be here," Eiriksdottir said.
"I can spread some energy across the team on and off the pitch. I hope to contribute with some goals. I feel like I have such a great opportunity to improve here."
Eiriksdottir's arrival is seen as a big boost to Leicester, who have struggled with injuries to their attacking players this season.
The club's top two scorers from last season - Jutta Rantala and Lena Petermann - also remain sidelined because of injury.
